Book excerpt: In October 1819, two New England ships, Balaena and Equator, cruising off the coast of Hawai'i's Kealakekua Bay, harpooned and killed a whale. They were the first American whalers to do so in Hawaiian waters, but they were certainly not to be the last. And it was only the beginning.That same year brought New England missionaries on the brig Thaddeus. Their destinies converged with the whalers in shaping Hawai'i's future.This was an era when whaler lawlessness and missionary law clashed again and again, racking the land with violence and causing Hawai'i's king many a weary and many a worried hour. No storyteller could have invented a drama with more conflict than the one played in Hawai'i during her wild, whaling days.Riots, burnings, shootings¿sailors armed with pistol, club and knife, threatening missionaries and native Hawaiians alike. Ships firing cannon on missionary homes. Police trying in vain to quell riots. Seamen demanding island girls like so much merchandise-and willing to pay the price. Gambling, drunkenness, theft, venereal disease¿It was all a part of the colorful whaling history of Hawai'i.

Download or read book Whaling Will Never Do For Me written by Briton Cooper Busch and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I just begin to find out that whaling will never do for me and have determined to leave the ship here if possible." That sentiment, expressed by a foremast hand aboard the ship Caroline in 1843, is one shared by many of the whalemen in this fascinating book. Interest in Herman Melville's Moby Dick has contributed to a substantial literature on the history and lore of the industry. But not until now has the vast body of surviving whaleship logs and journals been used to paint an encompassing picture of the difficult but colorful life aboard nineteenth-century American whaling vessels. Briton Cooper Busch, author of a definitive history of the American sealing industry, in this book only incidentally discusses the actual chase for whales. His focus instead is the life of whalemen at sea, and particularly the harsh discipline that kept men aboard through long and often dispiriting years. Busch depicts the complex social world aboard ship, defining and detailing such issues as crime and punishment, competing racial elements, the social distance between officers and men, sexual behavior, and the role of women aboard ships. For oppressed, discouraged, or simply bored whalemen, several escapes existed, from the rarest of all mutiny through labor protests of various types, to individual desertion or appeal to an American consul abroad. To each of these topics Busch devotes a chapter. He also provides glimpses of those occasional moments of relief such as a Fourth of July celebration and such somber moments as a death at sea. Fascinating details and original quotations from individual whalemen make this book more than a study of general trends. For anyone with even a casual interest in whaling, it is indispensable.
